No, I'm not todd.
I ran out of a drop lot in Wilkes-Barre, PA.at the time.
I would go to Harrisburg and fan out from there.
Usually Baltimore, Spring City, Winchester, Hagerstown, or Phillipsburg, NJ.
Then come back to Harrisburg and then Wilkes-Barre with the day freight.
Sometimes I would run to Roanoke, Pittsburg, Columbus, or Cleveland and layover.
The Harrisburg terminal was run by a corrupt pair of brothers who were stealing
high dollar freight off the dock and selling it on the black market.
We had our own fuel island and they would sell fuel to O/O at half price.
They tried to force everyone to run illegal and with faulty equipment.
One time it was snowing hard and they gave me set of doubles to take back up.
The heavier of the two pups (at 16k lbs) was a liftgate and had to ride in the rear
as the liftgates have no pintle hook.
The lighter of the two was barely 4k lbs and thus had to ride in front.
I wouldn't take a set up like that on a warm /dry day...let alone in a snowstorm.
I asked the ops mgr which pup he wanted me to leave behind and he blew his top.
I told him he reworks the load or forget it.
This is the kinda crap we were expected to put up with.
We tipped off Pittsburg to what was happening and they were eventually
caught and told to resign or be prosecuted.
This was 10 years ago.
I quit them shortly after.
